New Turkey Gun

[davisd9]

Had a few firearms stolen from my dad and mom's house.  It really sucked because a lot of them were from my family and basically not replaceable.  Anyway I got a little replacement money from insurance.  I have been researching and thinking of buying a semi-auto 20 ga so that my nephew and little cousin could hunt with it.  I also am hunting the SC mountains this spring and some other tough terrain so I decided the carrying a 20 in those situations would be a benefit.  I wanted to stay under $500.  Was seriously considering a Mossberg SA-20 and the Weatherby SA-20. 

Went to Academy sports to see what they had but all they had was a Tristar that I was interested in other than it was a youth model, too short for me.  Decided to go to Dick's Sporting Goods to see what they could order.  Well they had a Remington 11-87 20 gauge on the shelf for $574.99, but it came with a $75 rebate from Remington and a $50 Gift Card Rebate to Dick's so basically the gun would be $450 plus tax.  Could not walk away from her and scooped her up. 



26" barrel.  Going to shoot Hevi-Shot 3" 7s in her.  Think the first choke I am going to try is the Tru Glo SSX.  Cannot wait to get to shooting her!

Picked these up yesterday to pattern with the gun. Going to try them with the SSX first.  Will post patterns when I get the chance to shoot.  Thanks!
